In 2016, Janet received a call from a law office with regard to some surplus funds from the sale of her home. They sent over the paperwork to sign, but when Janet asked to speak with an attorney, this was the response: “Our attorney, Bryan, is not driving to Arrowhead. Just let Janet know she will lose the funds. She is wasting everyone’s time.” Well, that didn’t deter Janet or Sherry!

At Janet’s request, Sherry began to dig deeper. She found out that the San Bernardino County Court had been trying to reach Janet for almost two years and that a hearing had been set. Sherry went to work. In her spare time, she researched case law, filed court documents and represented Janet in court. Together, they fended off unprofessional attorneys and greedy relatives, eventually winning the case late last year.

Janet donated the money to the Foundation because she considers Mountains Community Hospital her home. She never imagined she would end up in a place with care this wonderful and her donation is a tribute to the great work of our staff.

The entire story cannot be told here, but it is very interesting and touching, and I hope that if you see them, you’ll ask to hear it. Janet and Sherry make our hospital proud and our community a better place and we can’t thank them enough.

Preliminary numbers indicate that last week’s Le Grand Picnic was our most successful ever!!! Thank you to all of our donors, sponsors, guests and volunteers and stay tuned for a recap in early August.

At Mountains Community Hospital, patient care is guided by interdepartmental collaboration which takes into account the unique knowledge, judgment and skills of a variety of professionals and disciplines. Open communication between departments ensures the most efficient, effective patient care.
We also consider our patients and their families are valued partners in the delivery of care and include them in each step of treatment. The care we administer at MCH does not stop at the physical, but incorporates emotional, social, psychological, cultural and spiritual healing, as well. We are committed to preserving the dignity of our patients and acting as advocates on their behalf.
